Nevada Department of Wildlife spokesman Edward Lyngar told the Associated Press that Finn suffered massive trauma from the collision, which occurred about 200 yards from the shore at Incline Beach in Incline Village, Nev.

Neighbors expressed shock at the news Thursday, telling The Record that Finn was a friendly and active neighbor who was frequently seen outside her home of more than 10 years playing with her young grandson. They told the newspaper Finn and her family were in the small vacation town for a wedding.
